I would enact trade tariffs. At least this is the idea which has most attracted my attention so far...

Sell things which are imported into America, at a premium.

I suggest a 10% tax rate. So: if a manufactured good is made overseas, charge an additional 10%.

If something is made here in America. No charge.

This would help in two major regards:

1) it would begin to PAY DOWN our deficit, currently over 17 trillion dollars.

2) this would also encourage companies to set-up American branches, or return American operations.

America has sold off everything. Even our military is now facing cutbacks.

Bring it back.

Now.

And would make many things as much as 20% more expensive.

Yay! Inflation!

Lower the corporate tax rates in this country and make ALL states right to work states if you want America manufacturing again.

Unions killed the steel industry in America.

Unions killed the textile industry in America.

Unions killed electronics manufacturing in America.

Unions are killing the auto industry.

So the problem is low tariffs? How 19th century of you!
